There was a coastal pie swap of famous apizza and key lime pie to celebrate new nonstop air service to Key West from New Haven from Avelo Airlines.
Avelo Airlines recently took flight with exclusive nonstop service to Florida’s Key West International Airport (EYW) from Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo is the only airline offering nonstop service between HVN and Key West.
To celebrate this new route, Avelo swapped New Haven’s famous apizza with Key West’s Key Lime Pie. Customers on the flight to Key West were provided with Key Lime tarts from G Cafe Bakery, ceremonial postcards and fanfare as they arrived in Key West.
A ribbon cutting and celebratory swag bags were also provided to everyone onboard.
Avelo operates this route twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays using Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Travelers can make reservations online.
“Avelo’s new nonstop route to the Florida Keys showcases the continued demand for convenient, affordable and industry-leading reliability in Southern Connecticut,” Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said. “Likewise, getting to Southern Connecticut and everything the greater New England and New York regions have to offer is now easier than ever for those Key West travelers. With over 30 nonstop options, we continue to share Avelo’s low fares and nonstop options with our loyal Connecticut Customers.”
“We are pleased to offer the only nonstop service to Key West (EYW) in the state for travelers in Southern Connecticut,” New HVN CEO Michael Jones said. “Key West is the gateway to the Florida Keys, offering HVN passengers access to a unique destination renowned for its fishing, diving, arts and culture, history, and cuisine. We look forward to welcoming Key West travelers with the blend of convenience and hospitality our airport has become known for.”
